It's Day 2 of the Reverse Confetti September Countdown and today might just be my most favorite day of the release yet! My card was created with the new Cotton & Thistle stamp set and coordinating Confetti Cuts.
You'll have to check out the images included in the complete set of Cotton & Thistle to see just how darling this set is. I used the bundle of blooms for my card, stamping my images on watercolor cardstock, adding a bit of water to make the ink puddle and pool, and then added color using my Zig Clean Color Markers...then more water :). I also added melted embossing enamel to add in texture and personality.
Before adhering my Cotton & Thistle bundles, I tied them together using trim and seam binding. My sentiment and wreath are from the new Fall Foliage stamp set...another truly delightful set, perfect for this time of year!
I used the Wreaths Confetti Cuts, cutting the wreath apart, and adding in tiny bits of it to create more depth and dimension to my wreath.
All of these sweet, new products will be available at Reverse Confetti on September 8th! Aren't they irresistible?
Thanks for visiting.

This is such a lovely card. The floral piece used as a top piece is just the right touch for this sentiment and the delicate die cut wreath frames the sentiment so well. tfs

Love the beige/natural with all the soft colors, Melissa! The Wreaths is one of my favorite die sets, so I’m glad to see it used along with the new Cotton and Thistles and Foliage sets.
